Will UA be GLA though, unlikely at the moment
Or equally the reverse could be true.

I think UA will be back at some point with the 737 Max.
Only the -10 is to be configured with a similar cabin to the 757. Unless they are planning on creating a floating airstrip in the middle of the atlantic that aircraft is not making it.

Any United return will be on the 321XLR.

The possibility of London, especially LHR changed everything (even though LGW will be a bigger station this year). It put everything on the back burner. Seeing as it is no longer relevant and I doubt anyone cares any more, the original "first five" - JFK initially then BOS - were LIS, BCN, AMS, MAN and GLA. Strangely DL either started, increased or by proxy (VS) flew those markets to JFK or BOS or both (EDI instead of GLA after a long think for BOS). Pandemic added 2 years - unrecoverable deferrals (another leadership fail) will likely add 2, more likely 3, more years to any expansion outside of "major" destinations. Best guess 2024 at absolute earliest but only a guess. If merger goes thru then some spirit 321s will get the extra tank to increase the amount of LRs on property - easy change -and that may change the timeline.

It's the capital , more attractive for inbound most probable.. According to Americans, Edinburgh is scotland . Hence why IMHO gla needs to come out fighting and address the problem or at least attempt to ..

Does this also impact other regional short season departures I.e BRS, EMA, STN etc? If so it could be just down to better aircraft use and eliminating expensive positioning flights. Either way hope GLA gains more based services from this. If not £ vs $ rate is beginning to bite!

No long haul TUI from EMA or STN. BRS is a season long. Think it was DSA that lost its flights for EDI

FRA-GLA and FRA-EDI will both have very similar times on the days they operate double daily
